Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Seadar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

Detected from AIS AIS-detected

Port	Arrived	Departed	Time in port
Dublin-Marine Terminal IEMTL	Sep 30, 2026, 19:21 UTC	in port	—
Rotterdam NLRTM	Sep 27, 2026, 00:24 UTC	Sep 28, 2026, 06:00 UTC	29 h 36 min

Detected by Seadar when the ship's AIS positions stayed slow inside a harbour area. Calls shorter than 30 minutes are not shown. Depends on AIS reception; detection started on June 8, 2026.

Behaviour at sea Seadar-derived

Patterns Seadar derived from this ship's AIS broadcasts. They are inferences, not reports: each one shows how it was computed and how confident we are, and none of them says why a ship behaved this way.

When	What we observed	Confidence
Sep 27, 2026, 16:27 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 5.8 m to 6.4 m while in port at Rotterdam. Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
